I get a raised itchy red area. It didn't happen for the first 3-4 months but now it happens every time. Annoying but no where near as bad as having the arthritis symptoms. Also, it stings during injection but only for about 5 seconds. | It has greatly improved my arthritis. Pain and fatigue are almost totally gone. Very effective for me. | 47 | 1 years | 5/2/2008 | 4 | Crohns | nothing major. A little lightheaded and anxious. 6mp gave me high fevers. I had one resection of illeum, before my first Humira treatments. | Was on it for 1 and 1/2 years and it stopped working. Was put on Remicade which was terrific but would not last a full 4 weeks due to my antibodies attacking the medication. Doctor put me back on Humira starter pack and so far it seems to be working but again for how long. A friend with RA contracted lymphoma from Humira.but thankfully recovered. | 72 | 1 months 40mg | 5/20/2016 | 2 | crohns | muscle weakness, hard to walk | 12 weeks | 2/25/2009 | 2 | Crohns | I have neuropathy in my feet and legs my new doc said Humor could be making it worse. I then have been reading the side effects and found many other possible side effects. My eyes have quickly gotten bad and I can't get my drivers License! Will stop it now. | 69 | 1 years 2x month | 9/19/2014 | 2 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | 1 days | 5/29/2013 | 1 | Dr. said | Well said reviewer on 12/3/2008. | | 5/2/2009 | 1 | RA | I ended up with CANCER | 58 | 40 1X W | 10/13/2015 | 5 | psoriasis | Headaches, blurry vision and blood in urine.

This all started 9 months after I started Humira | F | 53 | 36 months 40 2X M | 10/2/2015 | 5 | psoriasis | After 8 days and 3 injections its cleared over 50% with patches of my normal skin coming through. It stings after initial injection but not for long. No tiredness at all. | Its only been a short time but I hope this continues and I don't get any side effects. | F | 31 | 8 days 40 | 9/16/2015 | 5 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | Since taking Humira, I get frequent catarrh in my throat. | Aside from the small side effect, it has improved my life amazingly.

Prayer, good diet, Humira and exercise = life again. | F | 29 | 18 months 40MG 2X M | 9/29/2015 | 5 | psoriosis | a week ago got like insect bites or itchy rash.

It's like miracle | F | 51 | 6 months | 5/17/2015 | 5 | RA | I had a mild rash for a few months that I (and the dermatologist) were never ever able to figure out the cause. It went away after three months. No real side affects. | Has helped immensely with the fatigue. I am very glad to not have to leave work and head for bed!!! I am also doing the autoimmune protocol diet and I feel that is helping. Maybe in a year or two I can go off the meds! (I am also on Leflunomide daily because I could not tolerate methotrexate) | F | 61 | 1 years 40mg. 2X M | 5/29/2015 | 5 | RA | No negative effects.

HUMIRA (ADALIMUMAB): Adalimumab is used to reduce pain and swelling due to certain types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid, psoriatic, juvenile idiopathic, ankylosing spondylitis). This medication is also used to treat certain skin disorders (such as plaque-type psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa). It works by blocking a protein (tumor necrosis factor or TNF) found in the body's immune system that causes joint swelling and damage in arthritis as well as red scaly patches in psoriasis. Adalimumab belongs to a class of drugs known as TNF blockers. By reducing joint swelling, this medication helps to reduce further joint damage and preserve joint function. Adalimumab is also used to treat certain bowel conditions (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) and a certain eye disease (uveitis). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
